Play music with a slide show

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS913BDF30-4AF6-41f3-A49D-D23610195E55.html

This facility appears very restricted - it only allows one file to be used and only in mp3 or mp4 formats. Most recorded music is in separate tracks and most slideshows will be more than 10 mins duration so unless one has a single track long enough, the pictures won't fit the music. I tried stitching together several tracks into a single file but LR didn't regard that as a valid file for some reason. It would be much better if a whole folder of music tracks could be selected and each one then played in sequence or randomly. Also for other formats than mp3 to be allowed.

Music with a slide show

In I tunes, I croped some song to start at a particular location. This works fine in Itunes. However, when I use this music for a slide show in Iphoto, it plays the entire song insted of starting at the cropped point. Why?, and how do I fix it?

Alan:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The iTunes edits work only for iTunes. To trim a track in any way you'll need to do it with another application. You can do it in Garageband. I use the 3rd party editor Amadeus Pro. There are some freeware editors like Audacity. With Amadeus I can open a track select that portion I want to use and copy to a new file and then save. I do that for iDVD slideshows when I want to set the music for a specific total time for the number of slides that I've selected. Works very nicely. IMO Garageband is overkill for simple editing and I don't have it installed.
Another way to achieve what you want is to export the slideshow without music and edit it in iMovie. There you can add the audio tracks, trim, overlap,etc. and then save the composite movie file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Combining music with a slide show dvd

I just purchased a photo DVD on shutterfly but I need to add music then burn a new dvd, is there any software from apple that will let me do this?
Windows XP
Windows XP

http://www.roxio.com/ has some products I think will work for you (Easy Media).
But of course I think I would be remiss in not mentioning that the new Intel Macs run both Windows and Mac OS and the iLife Apps which come with all Apple Computers work wonderfully for many things, iPhoto, IDVD, iMovie, Garageband. And you can run all the Windows stuff, until you come over fully to the good side
You can also check out http://www.pinnaclesys.com/ (some inexpensive stuff there for windows with Rebates) if my reasons to switch to Mac were not persuasive
And alos http://www.videohelp.com/ may have some shareware/freeware

Problem with adding music to a slide show

I am trying to add add'l music to a slide show in Elements 9. The first songs added easily. I am now getting a message that the "codec" is insufficient. There does not seem to be any difference in the properties of the songs that are being rejected and the songs that loaded. How do I correct this to add the MP3 songs?

Thanks for your response. In answer to your questions:
1. What is PRE?
2. mpeg is not a choice on my version of pse7. Only mp3, wav, wma and ac3.

Drag the multiple songs in a new playlist in iTunes.
Select the playlist in iPhoto (not a song in the list) and you'll have more than one tune playing with your slide show.

When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error:

I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error: The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed. I went to the Adobe site and downloaded a codec program, and restarted but still got the same error. Any help would be much appreciated.
Anne

Thank you - I followed the instructions attached to your response, and I deleted the artwork from the three songs that I want to use, however, when I drag them into Photoshop I am still getting the same error message. I also don't see an option to convert the song to an MP3. I tried going to File and Get Info, and there isn't an option. I also tried right click on the song, but didn't see anything there either...?

I want to add music to a slide show

I want to add music to a slide show but only let music play for a certain number or slides then a different song for the next set of slides...how do i do this?

Hello Auchattie
What are you using to create the slideshow? If you have iMovie for your iPhone then you can add different music tracks for specific parts for the photos that you added for the slideshow. Check out the page below as it is the user guide to do create a slideshow as well as adding different songs and adjusting it to only play a small part.

Go to settings/music/volume limit tap on that. Make sure it is set to OFF and when you tap it that the slider is at max

Access my itunes library to add music to a slide show in iPhoto

I can't seem to be able to add music to a slide show in iphoto, I shoud be able to access playlist in itunes but it doesn't seem to work. I have tried the fix on help but still not working. Any thoughts?

I'm experiencing the same problem with both iPhoto & Aperture.
Aperture, iPhoto and iTunes versions are up-to-date as of April 13/13.
I've setup a new iTunes Library. Did not rectify the problem.
I've created a new iPhoto Library. Did not rectify the problem.
In Aperture, where the problem first appeared, I have deleted preferences, which did not correct the problem.
I then did a full rebuild of the database but the problem still exists.
Somewhat baffled!

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you DO want the slideshow overlaping the navigation try the below css:

    float: left;

    margin: 60px 0px 60px 60px;
    color: #FFFF0D;

    padding: 5px 5px 0px 5px;
    border: 3px solid #F7F723;
.box {

width:700px;
height:350px;
border-radius: 13px;

About all that can be suggested is to use the feedback form and talk to Apple. They have communicated with some users, trying to get more info to find out just what the battery drain is so they can fix it. Unfortunately with the myriad of operating systems, apps and individual tweaks, there could be several combinations of settings that are draining the battery.
My personal suspicion is that it has something to do with iCloud and the wifi syncing. (My ipad, before I changed the setting, was reaching out to find a sync on a regular basis. And it may still be doing so, however I set my iTunes to not automatically open to keep my device from trying to sync several times in an evening...not to mention the constant aggravation of iTunes opening regularly)
That said, I could be wrong and it could be an app that users have in common, or several apps.

I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

This category is for iPod shuffle. Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle? If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)) I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

Adding music to a slide show from Itunes

How do i add music to a slide show from itunes? When i go into the Itunes folder I get all the way to where the music file should be and it says there are no files found.

Hi Rodney,
Here's what you do.
When you click on music and the window opens, click on your library then look at the bottom of the window where you will see a small clear dot - click and drag this up and voila - there's the music.
A very annoying feature that iPhoto hides this section by default.
